Warhammer 40: Starting as a Rogue Trader

Chapter 338 The decisive battle begins

The Zerg mothership even withstood the gunfire and directly bit a Necromancer's tomb ship to pieces.

However, he himself was also torn apart by the cannon fire unleashed by Zaratusa's flagship.

Using the teleportation technology unique to the undead, Zaratusa teleported a group of undead warriors and immortals directly into the mothership, attempting to destroy it from the inside.

The two sides' boarding forces began fighting inside the mothership. Every now and then, violent explosions tore through the mothership's outer armor, sucking a large group of Tyranid creatures and undead warriors into the void.

Seeing the losses of his troops, Zaratusa actually felt a pang of heartache. In principle, these ordinary units shouldn't have caused Zaratusa any regret.

However, since Tarasim had ambushed many of the Tomb Technicians, the lack of operation from a large number of Tomb Technicians meant that these Necromancers could not quickly recover and rejoin the battlefield using the resurrection protocol.

With their numerical advantage, this splintered Zerg fleet held the Necromancers firmly at bay, preventing them from advancing an inch. However, the Necromancers also tied down a large number of Terran warships.

As the two sides began to clash, Gao Yi and Dante knew that their opportunity had arrived.

It is impossible for Tyrannosaurus and the Necromancers to stop fighting and cooperate against humanity.

Now is the perfect time for humanity to intervene, given the Necromancers' involvement in the war.

The elimination of the Tyranids on Asford has freed up Asford to mobilize a large number of troops.

The people of Cardia are eager to end this battle.

Ranger regiments and the Cardia Blitzkrieg were transported to warships via the airport.

Most importantly, five subgroups of the Holy Blood Angels have already reached the outer reaches of the Hades Galaxy.

With Gao Yi using his mechanical authority to enhance the star language device, Mephisto received their faint star language.

Their location was relatively close, and their risky subspace travel allowed them to arrive here first.

Although these chapters are not at full strength, the number of Astartes in this galaxy has reached nearly 6000, including the Blood Raven Angels and others.

"Lord Gao Yi, five battle groups have already reached the outer edge of the Underworld Star System. The remaining battle groups will not be able to arrive in a short time, but even those that have arrived cannot enter the Underworld Star System."

"Five should be enough, and should put some more pressure on Tyron! I'll handle the problems here."

Gao Yi discovered that Zaratusa possessed less power than he had imagined. The intervention of the space necromancers still failed to push Leviathan to the brink of defeat. He still hadn't found the node creature he needed on the battlefield. It seemed that he would have to rely on the humans in the Hades system to put in a little more effort.

These five warbands that arrived first can further strengthen the human forces within the Hades system.

Dante brought Gao Yi back to the Star Language Room. Gao Yi sat down cross-legged, and just as Dante was thinking about how Gao Yi was going to solve the problem of the shadow in the warp.

An indescribable power spread throughout the Star Language Room.
At this moment, Gao Yi had reconnected to his subspace projection.

The mechanical authority and the power of the Xel'Naga were simultaneously pushed to their limits.

With the help of the Star Language device, Gao Yi guided his projection to the outer edge of the subspace shadow.

In the projected world of the warp, Gao Yi had already seen the shadow formed by the consciousness of the Great Devourer. This shadow was as black as ink, as if it truly shielded everything in the warp.

The area formed by the shadow no longer appeared to belong to subspace.

However, as Gao Yi's warp projection approached, the warp shadows began to surge, and the ink-black shadows were torn apart and devoured by the Xel'Naga.

As Gao Yi exerted all his power, the subspace shadow covering the surrounding area indeed began to thin out.

“It really works!!”

However, as the largest Tyranid tentacle in the galaxy, its warp shadow is also larger than imagined.

Gao Yi should be able to completely devour and purify it, but Xel'Naga will probably be stuffed several times over. There's no time for Gao Yi to digest it slowly right now.

Realizing this, Gao Yi immediately and briefly disconnected the subspace projection link and spoke to Mephisto beside Dante.

"Mephisto! Seize this opportunity! The warp shadow has been weakened! Tell the chapters outside to take advantage of this opening!" Although Mephisto didn't know how Gao Yi had managed to do it, he did as he was told. He could indeed feel his psionic connection with the warp becoming stronger and stronger.

The negative effects of Tyrion's Shadow are diminishing!
Meanwhile, the navigators of the several Holy Blood Angel subgroups outside the Hades star system were also surprised to discover that the previously blocked subspace channels had reappeared, and clear astronomical language was being transmitted.

These chapter commanders, without any hesitation, immediately embarked on warp travel to ensure they wouldn't miss this opportunity.

When their brief voyage ended, they found themselves truly in the Hades system.
After confirming that they had entered the Underworld Galaxy, Gao Yi temporarily stopped his devouring behavior.

"Phew. It's great. Just how big is the main force outside the galaxy of Tyronn?"

"Lord Gao Yi, you really did it?! By the Emperor, is this really a power that humans can possess?"

Dante stared blankly at Gao Yi.

"Dante, stop asking so many questions! Get the fleet moving! We must end this war as soon as possible."

The arrival of the five warbands added another 20 cruisers and battle barges to the human forces, enabling them to launch rapid assaults.

Using a secret passage known to the Empire, they successfully crossed the Diamond Shield and rejoined the Imperial fleet.

But the reinforcements that arrived were not limited to this. The Montgomery dynasty's large warships were all waiting in Argasus.

The decisive battle has begun; it's no longer time to worry about losses.

And now they have received Gao Yi's orders.

One by one, the warships activated their warp engines, and a follow-up fleet consisting of one battleship, five heavy cruisers, and forty light cruisers also entered the Hades system.

That battleship was something Guilliman forcibly took from the navy after Gao Yi became the High Lord.

Otherwise, they simply cannot buy them. No matter how many resources they have, the navy and the mechanical repair guild would never sell warships of this caliber.

Each battleship is qualified to be the most important defensive force in an entire star sector.

As the main force headed towards Isox to join the melee, a force consisting of 1000 Blood Ravens, the entire Fleshbreakers Chapter, and a legion of Rangers charged straight at Pertita.

A whole regiment of rangers also headed to Tartarus, where the Grand Prism was located, and the Imperial garrison in Tartarus also spotted a force approaching Zaratusa.

This thing must be in human hands; a legion of rangers is enough to hold off these few space undead.

The Tomb World, which had lost a large number of soldiers to Zaratusa, was also at its weakest at this time.

Although there are certainly many undead in the tomb, these immortal creatures are also unable to withstand the erosion of time.

Compared to when this tomb world first fell into slumber, its number must have been greatly reduced.

To destroy a dynasty, one must destroy the core of its burial world.

Once Tyrannosaurus is dealt with, a conflict with the Necromancers in space is inevitable.

This task was assigned to Blood Raven and Flesh Tearers, as this kind of special operations in underground spaces was more suitable for these Astartes.

As the Necromancers used their weapons to destroy Terran bio-ships one by one.

Human fleets also joined the battle.

Suddenly caught in a pincer attack, the Hive's will had no choice but to divert more bio-ships away from the skies above Ixos.

What made the Hive's will most nervous was everything Gao Yi had just done in the warp.

The power that Gao Yi absorbed made the will of the insect hive truly feel a sense of crisis...
